| Obverse description | The Bavarian lozengy shield, displaying the characteristic bendy lozengy pattern of the Wittelsbach dynasty, centrally positioned within a raised inner circle. The shield is rendered in a bold, simplified hammered style typical of Kipper-period emergency coinage, with the field showing no surrounding legend. The flan is irregular and slightly squared, consistent with crudely cut copper planchets of the period. |

| Reverse description | A large capital letter 'K', denoting Kreuzer, prominently centered within a raised inner circle that nearly fills the flan. The letter is boldly struck in a plain Roman capital style, serving as the denomination indicator for this emergency Kipper coinage. The surrounding field is plain and unlettered, and the flan edges are irregular, reflecting the crude striking conditions of the Kipper und Wipper monetary crisis period. |
